Chapter 301 transposition of gracilis muscle
"Let me guess, how many conversations are we having? Eighth or ninth?! The conclusion should be exactly the same. I need another operation to restore the vitality of my hands and let me go back to the carving room to work again? "
Lying on the bed was a middle-aged man in his forties. There was a lot of plaster powder on his coat, and his broad hands were full of calluses. He looked like a farmer or a mason.
At this time, he was raising his head, frowning at Dr. Robin, who was standing in front of him, and mocking the leading neurologist in North America, without any politeness.
"Twelve, to be exact. My answer is still the same as the first time. If you want to completely cure the nerve pain in your hands, the only way is to amputate. All the conservative treatments you ask for are only temporary relief of your nerve pain, which can't be cured at all. "
"Well, I'll repeat my request. I can't use a hammer or a carving knife. I can give up my work and hobbies, but now I can't even open a bottle of beer. That's a bit too disappointing for me."
"I remember when you were first admitted to the hospital, your hands were covered with nearly 100 pieces of glass fragments, and you could hardly see a piece of intact skin. And now, your consciousness has recovered, and your ability to move has almost recovered, almost meeting your initial requirements. Just leave your hands and make a decoration. We did it! "
Robin looks at the patient in front of him without any expression, without much psychological fluctuation or even pressure. It is the result of the joint operation of many departments to rescue this mortal sculptor from the sculpture filled with glass, and it is also the real evidence of the strength of Mayo Clinic.
He would have lost his life if he had changed to a big hospital in other cities.
Robin has always believed that for this kind of heretic and avant-garde artist, the best treatment for him to live longer is to put on a pair of mechanical arms. Anyway, his abstract sculpture has no logical beauty, and there is no problem in the past operation with iron arms.
A 40-year-old baldness doctor nearby looked at the data displayed on the hand screen and gave treatment suggestions seriously. "Now we just need to treat the nerves and improve the control of the muscles of your hands. Through long-term physical therapy and exercise, you will gradually return to some normal movements."
"What kind of operation do I need to do this time to treat my two unique arms?"
"Maybe you need a gracilis transposition, which can improve the control of your arm and relieve the pain..."
The middle-aged doctor put down his tablet and explained it responsibly. But in the middle of the speech, Robin suddenly cut in and gestured to stop him.
"No! You don't want to have this operation. You and I know it very well. You are in the best condition. It's going to cost you a lot to keep those arms that are just for decoration. If you want to completely solve this problem, the only choice is to install the intelligent bone integrated prosthesis! "
Chen Qun, standing a little further away, is not ready to make any comments. Because when Robin simply and rudely interrupted the speech of his subordinate doctors, he used the time pause function to directly enter the system operating room to perform an operation for the patient.
As a result, at the beginning, it was found that the nerves and blood vessels on the patient's arm formed a sharp contrast. Most of the blood vessels were replaced with artificial blood vessels, while his brachial plexus almost became a braid composed of large and small pimples. Countless neuromas were the main culprits.
Such an operation can hardly be carried out at all. Dr. Robin's plan is the most practical one. It is simple and easy to do once and for all. And this new prosthesis, will be linked to the bones and nerves, the patient's condition and needs, have a great improvement.
Of course, any bionic robot arm, there are many problems, such as fingers are not so dexterous, will not produce perceptual feedback.
The patient sitting on the bed set forth his demands unswervingly.
"I just want to be a sculptor, not any style in the terminator."
"Well, maybe I have a new type of surgery to recommend to you - Super electromagnetic blade for cell level cutting and repair, which can repair your nerves and tendons wrapped by scar tissue, and maybe save your career and life. It's just an experimental operation. There's no guarantee! "
Suddenly, Dr. Robin changed his mind and proposed a new treatment for the stubborn avant-garde artist.
Anyway, the operation failed, and then continue amputation, for him to install a prosthesis, better save his life."As long as there is a chance, I will not give up this opportunity. Since my old friend wants me to be the first experimental mouse, I think it's 1000 times and 10000 times better to die on your operating table than to die in a beer can. "
"On the contrary, you are not the first case of surgery, and naturally you are not a laboratory mouse. Two patients have been cured by this operation. One is a three-year vegetative patient with locked in syndrome, and the other is the world-famous Miss Emily Yawen, who saved her singing voice. "
The patient was stunned and exclaimed in surprise.
"Is the rumor on the Internet true? Emily is my idol. I have to collect all her Autographed albums! If even the throat, which is more valuable than my hands, is cured, then there should be no big problem with my arm. "
"On the contrary, you have the biggest problem. Because there are too many damaged tissues in your nerve, and there is no nerve graft that can be replaced. Of course, if you are willing to transplant the nerve on the inside of your leg and give up the perception of your leg, maybe a nerve transplant is better
Chen Qun saw that the topic was on his head, and with the agreement he made with Professor Thomson, he didn't have much time and energy to carry out such a delicate operation for the patient, so he immediately stood up and put forward a better suggestion.
Isn't it one of the quintessence of surgery?
Chen Qun believes that this simple transplantation can not only reduce his workload, but also perfectly solve the patient's problems.
The most important thing is that he has to make time for piano practice. Ten days later, he will return home to attend Amira's concert and surprise his girlfriend.
My girlfriend is the biggest.
Moreover, from the perspective of Neurology, even if a nerve full of scars can be operated at the cellular level, it can not change the physiological properties of the scar tissue and make it a perfect nerve.
What's more, he doesn't want to be nagged by his mother all his life. He finally fooled his family out to visit the capital, but it's really meaningless for him to be an operation dog here.
